Abstract excerpt
In previous work, we identified a triple mutant of the castor (Ricinus communis) stearoyl-Acyl Carrier Protein desaturase (T117R/G188L/D280K) that, in addition to introducing a double bond into stearate to produce oleate, performed an additional round of oxidation to convert oleate to a trans allylic alcohol acid. To determine the contributions of each mutation, in this work we generated individual castor...
